Bow Lake Bob Evans Race 2 http://www.amyrootdonle.com/robsboat/Photos/Pages/Bob_Evans_Race_2.html Perfect conditions for our first race day. Crew Bruce and Ben worked great despite never having sailed together before. Thanks to Wayne for piloting Amy around for these great shots. Amy promises more pictures are coming... Third race of the day, spin set. http://www.amyrootdonle.com/robsboat/Photos/Pages/Bob_Evans_Race_2.html#0 807fd7a7-2bc5-4f5e-a1ea-054a319c320b http://www.amyrootdonle.com/robsboat/Photos/Pages/Bob_Evans_Race_2_files/Media/DSC_3157/thumb.jpg http://www.amyrootdonle.com/robsboat/Photos/Pages/Bob_Evans_Race_2_files/Media/DSC_3157/micro.jpg
